Hadith 23:19

'Affan narrated to us, he said: Hammad ibn Salamah narrated to us, from Ja'far al-Khatmi, from his father, from his grandfather, 'Umayr ibn Habib ibn Khumashah, that he said: "Faith increases and decreases." It was said to him: "And what is its increase and what is its decrease?" He said: "If we remember Him and fear Him, then that is its increase; and if we are heedless, forget, and neglect, then that is its decrease."

حدثنا عفان قال حدثنا حماد بن سلمة عن جعفر الخطمي عن أبيه عن جده عمير بن حبيب بن خماشة أنه قال الإيمان يزيد وينقص قيل له وما زيادته وما نقصانه قال إذا ذكرناه وخشيناه فذلك زيادته وإذا غفلنا ونسينا وضيعنا فذلك نقصانه
